my chili mac
(1 RATING)
A convenience store that is closed now, use to at its whim serve a chili mac that was very good, but you never knew when it would be cooked nor did the cook know, as it was at the cook's whim. So I came up with this recipe. It wasn't a regular on the menu but was well liked.
